Lucie Ouimet earned a PhD in education with a health option from Université Paris 8. Her research interests include medical social representations, particularly related to Alzheimer's disease and the epistemological issues surrounding defective representations. Currently, she is working on a repository of video vignettes that contain testimonials from individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. This project compiles life stories to reveal the singularity, variability, and complexity of experiences associated with the disease. As part of the Labo Stress: Cognition Learning project, Ouimet explores the impact of stress on cognition in the elderly. Her interests also include cognitive compensation and the cerebral plasticity present in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, particularly how neuronal arborization is affected by learning. Additionally, she is engaged in developing a pedagogical clinical intervention for Alzheimer's sufferers in the early stages of the disease within Francophone minority contexts.
